About This Item
London: Bonhams, 2010. First Edition. Laminated Pictorial Boards. Near fine to Fine/very good. 4to (27cm). Bar some slight bumps to tips of Vol V, all volumes in superb condition, with barely any signs of use, if at all. Wrangham was born into a wealthy English landowning family. His uncle, William Winkworth, and grandfather Stephen Winkworth, were both experts in Oriental arts, the latter among the co-founders of the Oriental Ceramic Society. Against this backdrop, he was to amass one of the great collections of Japanese material, especially strong in inro, lacquerware, and netsuke. Part IV is unusual in that it retains the dust jacket, which seems to have been issued only for this volume. Several pieces set record prices for the time, many of which still stand. As a heavy set, please enquire for shipping rates to destinations outside the UK.
Extended Description and Notes
One of the greatest collections of Japanese inro and netsuke ever assembled outside Japan.
